Making the case

[Seeker]

Management, in its ultimate wisdom, has decided to move our AD migration
project to next year. There have been several instances where I have had to
cobble something together, which usually takes more time than I would like
to spend, and though "If I had AD this would be a breeze." How has AD made
your administrative life easier, it is has? What are some justifications I
can use to cause them to re-evaluate their decision? I'm not looking for
marketing babble, but real-life anecdotes from admins in the trenches.
Thanks.

Hi there,

To be real blunt, if you can't come up with this yourself, you clearly
haven't evaluated AD in a lab. I'd make that my first step, if I were you.

I do have some examples, however as I indicated in my original approach I'm
looking for other admin's experiences who live with AD.
